Bab 888: Xalvador

Ryu's gaze shifted from the hand on his forearm toward Elena in the distance. She seemed to be pleading with him to forget everything and run, but she also seemed to be aware that there was simply no way that he could do such a thing.

Ryu didn't know anything about Elena's father, she had never spoken about him with him. But, that didn't say very much as Elena didn't ever usually talk about her family.

In truth, Ryu had always assumed that Elena simply didn't know who her father was. It made sense considering the practices of the Holy Wing Clan. Since Elena was a woman, she would have been taken away from her father at birth and would have never met him.

But now that Ryu knew some more truths about the Holy Wing Clan, and had also come to understand that they were just as much a part of the Martial Gods as these supposed Apostles were, then that would mean that it was potentially true that the Holy Wing Clan's rules were more like a temporary fixture.
